+# Configuration
+
+Customize how Ansible-lint runs against automation content to suit your needs.
+You can ignore certain rules, enable `opt-in` rules, and control various other
+settings.
+
+Ansible-lint loads configuration from a file in the current working directory or
+from a file that you specify in the command line. If you provide configuration
+on both via a config file and on the command line, list values are merged (for
+example `exclude_paths`) and **True** is preferred for boolean values like
+`quiet`.
+
+## Using local configuration files
+
+Specify Ansible-lint configuration in either `.ansible-lint`,
+`.config/ansible-lint.yml`, or `.config/ansible-lint.yaml` in your current
+working directory.
+
+!!! note
+
+    If Ansible-lint cannot find a configuration file in the current directory it attempts to locate it in a parent directory.
+    However Ansible-lint does not try to load configuration that is outside the git repository.
+
+## Specifying configuration files
+
+Use the `-c <filename>` CLI flag with command line invocations of Ansible-lint,
+for example:
+
+```bash
+ansible-lint -c path/to/ansible-lint-dev.yml
+```
+
+## Ansible-lint configuration
+
+The following values are supported, and function identically to their CLI
+counterparts:
+
+```yaml
+{!../.ansible-lint!}
+```
+
+## Ignoring rules for entire files
+
+Ansible-lint will load skip rules from an `.ansible-lint-ignore` or
+`.config/ansible-lint-ignore.txt` file that should reside adjacent to the config
+file. The file format is very simple, containing the filename and the rule to be
+ignored. It also supports comments starting with `#`.
+
+```yaml title=".ansible-lint-ignore"
+# this is just a comment
+playbook.yml package-latest # disable package-latest rule for playbook.yml
+playbook.yml deprecated-module
+```
+
+The file can also be created by adding `--generate-ignore` to the command line.
+Keep in mind that this will override any existing file content.
+
+## Pre-commit setup
+
+To use Ansible-lint with [pre-commit], add the following to the
+`.pre-commit-config.yaml` file in your local repository.
+
+Change **rev:** to either a commit sha or tag of Ansible-lint that contains
+`.pre-commit-hooks.yaml`.
+
+```yaml
+- repo: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint
+  rev: ... # put latest release tag from https://github.com/ansible/ansible-lint/releases/
+  hooks:
+    - id: ansible-lint
+```
